Ship my truck

Fast and efficient service. I enjoyed the experience and wouod do it all over again

Car hauling quick and easy.

This was my first time buying a classic car to restore sight unseen. I bought a 1936 Buick coupe from an internet posting based on the pictures and conversation s with the owner. I was nervous about the whole deal since the car was in California and I live in Minnesota. The seller was great but I contracted with a large broker to ship the car to me. The broker made promises he did not keep. I had ...

Saved a money and time.

I was able to get my vehicle shipped for about the same or even less money than I could have gone and got it for. I didn't have to waste 4 days of my life driving and had a great experience with my shipper.

Car transporter

I have struggled to find a forum to locate good transporters for my old car hobby. My experience with commercial carriers is that they are very inflexible, have held the car for ransom to increase the haul cost, made me feel like I was at fault because they had to haul something that was not a new car. Then they show up with some horrible old car hauler rig and gripe about dropping the car at a re ...

Stressless

Hi, I,m into British sport,s cars and getting someone to move these small car,s is next to impossible, with wheelbase being so narrow these cars cannot be loaded on open transport,s, people will say they can do this but there ramps are to wide, and they hold you up for weeks on transport, Steve Loken,(lokenmotive auto transport) the transport guy I used was up front on moveing these cars and does ...

Great service!!!!

I purchased a 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood back in February and was working with different brokers trying to find a driver to go from New York to Louisiana. My husband finally found Uship on the internet and we posted our vehicle. Within a matter of days we recieved 3 bids after cancelling 4 different transport companies who had quoted us well in the 1000's to transport the car. Not only did our vehi ...

Purchased a VW bus in Reno had it shipped to Bellingham WA

Martin picked up my VW bus in Reno from the guy I bought it from. Brought it and all the documents for the purchase. Service was excellent and always kept in contact. Vechile arrived safe and sound. I would recommend him to anyone. Thx Steve R.

Great shipper

Great shipment experience. Even on an old truck with no brakes, there were no issues getting it off the trailer.

Smooth flawless transaction shipping my vehicle.

I was shipping a rare 1950 Ford police car from Va. Beach to Atlanta and I accepted a bid from KAR TRANSPORT of Va. Beach through U-SHIP. Not only was their price one of the most reasonable, they had the proper equipment, insurance & positive feedback to do the job. When they unloaded the car, the cold air had killed the 8 volt battery and Wayne knocked himslf out helping me push the car a half a ...

worked out great with my car

car was delivered in great shape. Larry is a great guy to work with. i will use him in the future. thanks a lot.

Uship is great- 2 classic cars at a great rate

On a scale of 1-20 mike and UShIP was a 20. His sevice was outstanding, he called every state of the way. He provided storage at no extra charge when my new home purchase was delayed. He handled my classic car and custom car with care. Again a great shipper, great rate and overall nice person. Highly recommed. Uships rates and the process was great. I shipped a 69 Camero and 99 Plymouth prowler ...

Specialty Car No Probelms with U Ship

I must admit I was more than pleasantly surprised when the driver from Federal Towing pulled up with his Peterbilt carrier. This truck was one of the nicest car carriers around. They use a fully enclosed carrier to protect my 67 AC Cobra from the elements. The truck was equipped with air ride so my car didn't take the constant beating from the highway. Federal also uses GPS technology so they ...

Great experience with uShip!

I was shipping a 1971 Corvette Stingray that had been sitting in my uncles garage since 1976. The car had not been moved in over 30 years, so we didn't know what to expect. I purchased the car from my uncle to restore it's original condition. I chose a bid submitted by Randy Walker from Walker Transport. I explained to Randy what we were up against and he was up for the challenge. When he arr ...

Selling to and Australian Buyer

I sold my 66 mustang to an Australian and was faced with how to get the car to California from its home in Arizona, the car did not have an engine. I stumbled upon uship on the web while searching for a way to get it to the broker who would handle the overseas shipping by container. Had several bids on the job the first day and after selecting one the service provider called promptly, set up the ...

A wonderful shipment for our 2 classic Mini's

Our shippers were excellent. We were in the process of buying a house in Wisconsin and shipping our two classic Mini's. At the time my husband was stationed in Virginia where the two cars were and I was in Maine staying with my family for a year until his time was up in Virginia. This was our first time using UShip, but it saved us a heck of alot of time and money. We tried to time it just right s ...

Uship was a breeze.

I was informed about Uship by a car carrier from Canada. I had been trying to get my car shipped from Calif. to Texas for over a month. I had used the internet to find a transporter. I googled all the usual phrases: (car moving, car transporter, carrier, etc.) I got many responses, all from brokers. I chose one and althrough they were friendly, they couldn't find me a carrier. I didn't realize tha ...

Highly recommended

Patrick was very professional and courteous. He also was understanding when there were some complications with the pickup. Overall, a pleasant experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone shipping a vehicle accross the country.

Great overall experience

Excellent communication, and fast pick-up and shipping, especially considering the poor weather conditions. Shipped a 1932 Ford Street Rod from Wisconsin to California with no problems. Thanks!

Great job, no problems!

Will use him when ever I need to ship anthing

Vintage Ice Cream Truck

I chose to ship this item for the ease and the time savings it offered me. I chose Road Dog Transportation, what a great team! The price and the time frame was perfect. They were both on time,honest and professional. I will be referring them anyone that needs something shipped!

Great experience shipping my Deuce and a Quarter.

I purchased a 1967 Buick electra 225 off of Craigs list because it was the same type of car my Dad had when I was a kid. It was ROUGH!! Steve Mitchell, the owner of Iron-Horse Trucking, won the bid and am I glad he did. Once I sent the address info, everything was set. He called to let me know he was running ahead and made sure that was OK, which of course it was! He loaded the car,(didn't run) fr ...

The greatest shipper bar none!!!

Hes the best shipper period.He's kind courtous,respectful,punctual,and I will never use any other shipper ever.I only wished they allowed me more words so I could explain the whole story to you,so you could truly grasp what a outstanding job he did to make my experience very easy and assuring..In this day and age its good to meet people that not only say what they mean but mean what they say and h ...

outstanding shipping experience

I used Arne Sand to ship an incredibly rare, and completely non restored but intact and complete vintage firetruck from the 40's from up state New York to Columbus ohio. The truck was made by the Seagraves firetruck company in Columbus Ohio, and I was bringing her back home where she was made. Arne was very professional in how he took care of us, his shipping price was much lower than anyone els ...

Excellent experience with my shipment - could not have been better!

I actually had a vehicle shipped from WA state to me in Ohio this year using a larger firm (absolute nightmare) and decided to never go that route again... I had checked uShip before and probably didn't wait long enough to find a decent priced (good track record) shipper... I went over to the larger firm - and got shafted on price, service, communication and scheduling... I vowed to never ...

Shipping my sons 1970 Roadrunner

My son found a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner to restore and it was around 700 miles away. Due to the nature of our business, going to get the car was going to present serious delays. Roaddog contacted us immediately after accepting the bid, and the car was in our possesion within that business week. They were only responsibly to deliever the car and went beyond their call of duty and helped us to pus ...

fast response

Put a shipment on that day and had a match with hours. Great site!! thanks uship

Great experience shipping my vehicle

Using Uship was a great expereince and very simple to do! Even my grand mother could do this!

26 Model A Hupmobile

John kept in contact right up to my door. Everybody was happy with the service provided.

horrible/awesome uship experience

recently on ebay i purchased 2 1965 cadillacs. one was in arizona and the other was in michigan. well i had a fella (UBOXIT) bid on the one in arizona and offered 600 dollars. i thought "hey what a deal" so i accepted his bid and i got an email from him saying that he required a deposit of half, which is 300 bucks. well i paid it, and he disapeared. he didnt return emails, his phone was off. anywa ...

The best shipping experience YET [ and I have had MANY !! ]

Driver 35 brought home to me a 1950 Daimler Empress RHD that the Queen Mary is seen driving in history pictures. It is an all aluminum body. It sounds foolish, but I bought this car BY ACCIDENT !! WIves never will swallow THIS story, but it is totally true. I was trying to help a small ON LINE auction house get more interest in some of their cars, knowing that the Empress was so far away from a w ...

Classic ' 74 baby (Maserati) passed between the generations

On one of my recent visits out west (BC), my parents decided I was finally mature enough (I'm 37 for heavens sake) to take over the care of the family beast. OK. Perhaps they simply realized I would give it more attention than they were going to now... The challenge although small in comparison to the world travels it's been through (Italy, Kuwait, UK, Canada, UK, Canada (Toronto, then BC, ...

1950 GMC pickup with unassembled parts

Easy to deal with. Handled difficult situation with ease. (Multiple parts shipped with truck) I would highly recommend this shipper. Delivered in a timely fashion. Reasonable rate. Met my target price. Long distance haul. Kitchener to Calgary. I will definately use USHIP again if the situation ever arises.

Great experience!

1957 Tbird bought in Tx last month, shipped to Mo.this week. John Leisure oicked it up in Gonzales Tx early on the 17th and delivered it around 4 am Thurs morning to my work. The price was great and his rig is awesome! He has Dodge dually pulling an enclosed trailer, all 1st class. John caused a little excitement on Chrysler's parking lot while unloading my car. He didn't know it but there was hu ...

Excellent Shipping Experience

I needed to have an Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite moved from Wisconsin to Seattle. I made a post and after a few offers I selected Trukindaddy because he had an enclosed trailer that would protect my car. Gene was easy to get in touch with and always responded promptly to my emailed questions and phone calls. He was easy to coordinate with and arrived early or on time for both the pickup and deli ...

Excellent service

Walker transport is an A+ in my book. Honest reliable and a great deal for the money.

My treasured WWII Jeep arrived perfectly....

I have a WWII Military Jeep that was left to my husband and I from my Grandfather when he passed away. This is a very special vehicle for our family. I was so worried about shipping it and had put it off for so long because I was afraid something might happen to it. After listing my vehicle on Uship, I immediately got a bid from a company in Florida. They were a relatively new company, and I just ...

Finally a great experience shipping

I was not impressed at first with the way my listing was handled.I had many frustrating conversations with certain shippers who wanted me to go higher on my bids so they could move it for me. I stuck to my priced and declined several bids, because of it. Being said that I listed her in June 2007 and she finally got here Sept ember 28th. Through no fault of my last driver I matched the 22 of Sept ...

Smooth, smooth, smooth from start to finish for my Opel GT!

I was given a 1972 Opel GT by a complete stranger who came across my 'wanted' post for one on one of eBay's affliate sites, Kijijji.com. He was great in cooperating with Gary Chitwood, operator of AllInOneTransport, considering that he'd never had any previous experience with auto shipping providers such as Gary's. Gary was great-- very courteous and professional and kept me updated via email abou ...

Great Experience shipping my car

All in One Transport did a great job in shipping my car. It was not a easy car to ship. It was bare metal so it could not get wet. It had no wheels so it was hard to secure and the engine was on a palet. Gary had the car tied down great there was not a mark on any part of the car that was tied down. Gary went beyond the scope of the job and helped me get the car up my steep driveway in the ga ...

Shipping my 1953 Dodge M43 ambulance

I had recently acquired my dream vehicle, a stout 1953 Dodge M43 military ambulance that supposedly served in the Korean War. After 54 years however, the brakes had let go and I could not drive it from it's place of purchase to its new home, about 140 miles away. A quick search online for automobile shipping soon revealed that most shippers were going to charge me way too much and had little expe ...

shipping my vehicle

This was my first time using UShip and I found a Joe Czarnick (UShip name GIJOECZAR) Joe stayed in communication throughout the transport of my antique car. He was very thoughtful, careful and want out of his way. What a great guy!!!!!! Dr. Ron Rufo

Uship matched me with a shipper that got the job done fast.

I recently bought a 1923 T-Bucket that was located in Ohio. I myself reside in Texas. I looked into several companies that claimed they could get my car here fast. I gave a deposit and waited, and waited, and waited. Turns out they were just a broker. They had no trucks no drivers and it took them ten days to tell me that they couldn't find anyone to move my vehicle. So I cancelled and requested m ...

Re: VERY SMOOTH transaction and safe arrival

The site is easy to use and enabled me to select open or closed hauling, dates of pick-up and delivery while keeping a budget. I chose jimstow (54) Jim Dunagan because of his feedback, style of rig and price. The move was for a 1936 Chevy parts car and I didn't need to worry about the paint finish or glass breakage. This is why I chose to set up the move as a backhaul on a multi-car open trail ...

Great experience shipping my two vehicles

I purchased 2 old Oldsmobiles from my wife's uncle - one to restore and one for parts. Both have been sitting in his back yard for well over 30 years and both were in pretty poor shape. It was a huge chore to get them out of the yard and onto the car hauler but my uShip guys (Chad and Ed)did a professional job and worked their tails off. We finished off-loading them at my house about 10:30 pm m ...

Great Experience Shipping My '66 Mustang

I've been away from my classic car for far too long. As such, it had gone into disrepair for just as long. Being on a limited shipping budget due to impending added costs for the restoral I sought out uShip. After a few responses of potential shippers, I was able to find the one for my ideal price. Had it not been for this service, I would still be trying figure a way to get the vehicle here ...

Across country shipping!

This entire procedure has been fantastic! I got some great bids, accepted the one I felt was best and went with it.....I ended up meeting some shippers I would be proud to call friends, and they treated my car like it was a new Rolls Royce instead of a beat dodge Dart. :) thanks everyone! Great experience!!

Fast shipping

We scheduled the shipment close to midnight and had to buy an airline ticket to meet the driver in less than 12 hours. He showed up as planned, we loaded the vehicles, got in an airplane and took off. The vehicles arrived in a timely fashion with no damage. We had a great experience with uShip.

Great experience!

Five Star Transport LLC was my transporter. Sid was very professional and curtious. My paneltruck arrived in great shape. I will be using Uship again if I find another toy. I have told others about this process in the Ebay community, because this gives a very good alternative to the large transporters who do not like to move in-ops anyway. Thank you

My first USHIP experience.

I inherited a classic pickup truck and I was struggling to figure out how to get it from Detroit to Louisville, then I heard about USHIP...what an incredible experience. The concept is amazing, I have already shared this information who has seen my truck and asked anything about it. Getting my truck home from Michigan to Kentucky would've cost me (easily)four times what it did, if I had to go and ...

Awesome experience shipping my car..

I needed to ship a car from St. Louis and fast. I went straight to uship as I have done twice before and punched in my needs. Within hours I had 3 bids , one of them being from Joes General Store. I read some of his feedback and even though it had a few complaints, I decided to ignore them and go for it. Sometimes people write things and don't realize that others will be judging a person based on ...
